In the dining room, around the big wooden table if there was someone who was sitting carefree than it was none other than Gia. Both the brothers came out of the initial shook and were now serving different dishes to Gia who was serving it to her husband.
"Miss Ceo, try this sushi." Elder brother put a perfect piece of sushi in her plate which wasn't the cheap one which their wives decided for Sayam and his wife.
"Baby, try this sushi." Gia picked the piece with her chop sticks and feed it to Sayam.
"Miss Ceo, try this pasta."
"Baby, open your mouth. You eat so well." Gia feed him a spoonful of pasta and then cleaned his lip with tissue.
Sayam was still stunned trying to understand what was happening with him.
Both brothers didn't have much time to think that they wanted to humiliate Sayam and his wife but both of their wives came out of the initial shock and was now planning to humiliate Sayam.
"Ah, Miss Ceo, why you married this good for nothing. I am sure you could have found someone much better than him." One of them spoke for the first time.
Sayam scoffed as they were still trying to make him look bad. It was because of Gia that they haven't succeeded in their plan. He looked at his parents who were still silent.
"Ah, egg. Baby do you want egg."
"He doesn't like egg." His mother spoke for the first time with a proud smile.
"Really, but baby, you like them. Don't you." Gia innocently looked at him. She was provoking him to let out all his feelings.
"No, he never....."
"Stop it mom. Do you even care what I like or what I hated?" His eyes became wet.
"I liked egg. I always liked it. I wanted to eat egg in breakfast but there was never enough egg in our house to feed me. I said I like toast because I didn't want you to feel bad. But do you know how it feels eating toast with water. It always hurted my throat and it hurted a lot.
You never celebrated my birthday. Never. You never let me go to pool because you didn't have money but these two....they....hik...they went to every field trip and visited every pool in the city. .....Why me? Why you two never cared about me? WHYY?"
Sayam was crying while yelling at them. Both his parents and siblings were looking at him silently not because they felt bad but because Gia was there.
Gia got up and held Sayam's arm.
"Let's go." She helped him to get out of the house and made him sit in her car. On their way back, Sayam cried and Gia didn't stop him once. She let him cry to his heart content.
.............
Sayam was lying on his side with red eyes and exhausted body when Gia rolled him towards her. She placed her hand on his cheek and softly stroked it.
"Today was the first and last time when I let you cry like this. I don't want to see a single tear in your eyes from now on."
Sayam nodded and hugged her tightly. He hid his face in her embrace and inhaled deeply. He was feeling safe with her.
"One more thing."
Gia played with his hair.
"Bring me lunch tomorrow in my office. Let me show you what your wife actually is."
